I think that part of that is that ticket broker's bought a lot of tickets and the Heat really jacked up ticket prices. On Sportscenter, they said something to the effect that the available tickets for the preseason game were between $89-400. Considering that some other teams are giving away tickets for free for some of their preseason games, that's kinda hefty.

I know I'm biased towards my hometown (Chicago) but the Blackhawks sold out a PRACTICE this year already, and the Bulls have lead the league in attendance recently despite being a .500 team. I do not understand why LeBron and Wade chose to play in front of 10k fans instead of 22k.
